1) Re: 2009 House Bill 4360 (Exempt newspaper deliverers from seatbelt mandate ) by uber-liberal on March 4, 2009i'm interested to know exactly how many of them are rear ended? this would be a pertinent piece of information on which to base a logical decision. it would seem that if numerous newspaper delivery drivers were rear ended, that the law need not pass, strictly for their protection.
it would also seem that if very few of them are rear ended, that the added protection of seat belts could be viewed as superfluous, even hazardous. now, looking at this from a freedom loving perspective, i believe that the seat belt mandate should be removed at once and seat belt choice be the order of the day.
i see legislation based on what MIGHT happen to be obstructionist and nannying. laws are not meant to control chance, only behavior.

why is it the only two options for those on the left is ban or mandate? why is "choose to" or "choose not to" ever an option?

Free all citizens imprisoned in seatbelts, especially those most likely to get rear ended.
